Terrain factors influencing the water quality of peatland streams along the Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway
Principal Investigator: Hille, Erika C
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5295. The objective of this project is to examine the oxygen (d18O) and hydrogen (d2H) isotopic compositions of stream water and precipitation for 11 peatland stream watersheds along the Inuvik-to-Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH). This information will be used to understand the hydrology of the contributing watershed. In particula...


Drivers and constraints of ecological change in the western Arctic
Principal Investigator: Lantz, Trevor C.
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5277. The objectives of this research are: 1) Use remote sensing (Landsat, QuickBird, InSAR, Airphotos, UAVs, etc.) to document regional landscape change (tundra fire, infrastructure, saline flooding, slumps, subsidence, vegetation change, lake drainage / expansion, etc.); and 2) Use field sampling and monitoring to determi...


Sources, transport, and fate of microplastics in the Mackenzie River, Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Bourdages, Madelaine
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5225. The first objective of this project is to quantify microplastic concentration and composition in water, sediment, and air in the Mackenzie River delta. The second objective is to examine if microplastic concentrations are greater near communities. The third objective is to identify if microplastics are being transport...


Remote Sensing and Geophysics of Tundra Landscapes
Principal Investigator: Ullmann, Tobias
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5193. The research team will investigate the possibility of linking field-measured characteristics of tundra landscapes (e.g. active layer thickness, soil moisture, plant distribution and ecosystem composition, etc.) with remotely-sensed data. The overall objective of the project is to identify the connection that exist bet...


Cannabis in Our Communities: A Focus on Youth and Maternal Health and Well-Being
Principal Investigator: Uriarte, Reyna Marie
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5239. The objectives of this project are to dtermine the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours (KAB) of Inuit youth and new or expecting parents in Inuvialuit Settlement Region toward cannabis use. The team also plan to share cannabis harm reduction tools and information and assess their effectiveness and determine persisting...


Effects of permafrost thaw on soil processes and soil-plant interactions
Principal Investigator: Richter, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5246. The main goal of the project is to understand which mechanisms are controlling soil nutrient cycling and soil-plant interactions across both permafrost thaw gradients and vegetation types. The research team are mainly interested in nutrient cycling processes and priming, as well as how microbial community composition ...


R/V Mirai Arctic Ocean cruise in 2022
Principal Investigator: KITAMURA (ITOH), Motoyo
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5177. The objective of this program is to monitor on-going Arctic changes, which are related to the recent global warming. Sea water measurements and plankton sampling are important to know oceanic ecosystem health because plankton are food for fish, seabirds and marine mammals. Microplastic pollution sampling and ocean wav...


The Hidden Image of Thawing Permafrost: Mapping Subsurface Properties and Taliks with Remote Sensing (HIT Permafrost)
Principal Investigator: Grünberg, Inge
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5196. The goal for this expedition is to collect ground-truth data for two prior airborne campaigns conducted in 2018 and 2019. The data obtained from radar remote sensing of the area around Trail Valley Creek represent a complex signal from the vegetation, active layer, and permafrost. Based on prior field expeditions, the...


Quantifying carbon fluxes and budgets of boreal forest-tundra landscapes under the influence of rapidly changing permafrost regimes
Principal Investigator: Sonnentag, Oliver
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5220. The project of the present application is the continuation of year-round eddy covariance measurements of carbon, water and energy fluxes at Trail Valley Creek and Havikpak Creek, established in 2013. The key methodology is tower-mounted micrometeorological measurements around the eddy covariance technique using an ...


Indigenous Clothing Ensembles: Indigenous Knowledge and Performance Evaluations to Enhance Northern Safe Practices
Principal Investigator: Barker, Anne
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5212. The overall objective of this project is to investigate how Indigenous clothing components could be a part of harsh weather personal protective equipment (PPE), leading to increased personal safety and security in Arctic environments. There are four main tasks for the research project: 1) Four northern crafting p...
